Good luck!

 Your choice:
A: ♥2 - Any side-suit lead, even from a Jack, would be dangerous, especially since East has a strong hand.

A trump lead from three small cards is safe.

 Your choice:
A: ♦3 - This time, a trump lead from Jack-third is too dangerous. You need to lead something else.

Ace-doubleton carries way too much risk of giving away a trick. You need to underlead your lowest honor, in Diamonds.

 Your choice:
A: ♣10 - A two-card touching sequence in the trump suit is not enough to lead them. You would likely make only one trick, while you could make two if East has the ♥A, by not leading them.

Lead from your small Club sequence.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

 Your choice:
A: ♣2 - Look at the auction. East has shown five Spades and four Clubs. What will he do with his Spade losers? He is likely to ruff them.

To prevent this, lead a trump. You need to lead a small one in case your partner has an honor in the suit.
